What is Immunohistochemistry -Pax-5?

Pax-5 is a protein primarily found in B-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. This test identifies the presence of Pax-5 in a tissue sample, which helps pathologists characterize the cells and understand their origin. It's a crucial marker for certain blood cell-related conditions.

Why is this test important?

Pax-5 detection is vital for diagnosing lymphomas, particularly B-cell lymphomas, and distinguishing them from other types of lymphomas or undifferentiated tumors. It aids in the accurate classification of these cancers, which is essential for guiding appropriate treatment strategies.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
